10-29-14: Damian Lillard quickly became a household name during the Trail Blazers’ playoff run last season.

The average price for Trail Blazers tickets on the secondary market this season is $109.27, a drop of 20.6% from last season’s average of $137.68. Despite the decrease in season average, the Blazers are again poised to compete with the Thunder in the Northwest division all season long.

10-24-14: Under the direction of point guard Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers led an impressive run into the Conference Semifinals against Spurs. The Trail Blazers finished with a 54-28 record last season and solidified themselves as one of the NBA’s premiere up-and-coming teams. They own a 3-3 record in the preseason.

10-15-14: The Portland Trailblazers begun their preseason on Oct 7 with a 92-73 loss to the Utah Jazz, followed by another loss to Utah on Oct 9, but are coming off a 119-114 win over the Los Angeles Clippers in their last outing.

The Trailblazers had a successful year last season and look to be more of threat this season in the loaded Western Conference.

9-22-14: The Blazers after reaching the second round of the playoffs for the first time in fourteen years are returning with their same effective starting five from last year. Their bench production was an issue last year and the Blazers did little to fix that. Losing Mo Williams to Minnesota was huge while they did pick up Steve Blake he is now 34 and has had issues staying healthy in the past. They picked up Chris Kamen to be the backup center behind Robin Lopez. A nice addition, Kamen averaged 10 points and 6 rebounds last season with the Lakers in only 18 minutes per game. The question remains if this team can make it back to the semi-finals and beyond.

8-13-14: The Portland Trailblazers had a good year last season reaching the second round in the playoffs and come into this season with the same core of guys but with some added veteran talent with the addition of Steve Blake who had a productive season with the Lakers and added Chris Kaman for two years at around 4.9 million but didn’t have any drafts this year. The Blazers will be in the hunt but not a team that looks like it can go even further in the NBA playoffs this season.

5-19-14: The San Antonio Spurs took a commanding 3-0 lead in the series with a 118-103 victory over the Trail Blazers on Saturday in Portland. However, the Trail Blazers bounced back in Game 4.

Damian Lillard scored a game-high 25 points and Nicolas Batum led all players that evening with 14 rebounds, as the Blazers defeated the Spurs, 103-92. Batum also chipped in with a game-high eight assists in Game 4, but his strong performance in Game 5 was not enough to help the Blazers bring the series back to Portland.

5-12-14: The Trail Blazers finished their first-round series with a huge shot, but the team unfortunately has not had the opportunity to attempt any of those in the second round. Portland has dropped its first two games against the San Antonio Spurs and is not looking like it will be able to have a chance in the series. The Spurs are just too dominant, but there are quite a few veterans on their roster. The Blazers have a bright future because their squad is full of young players. Damian Lillard is one of those players and his buzzer-beating 3-pointer won the first round for the Blazers.

5-5-14: The Trail Blazers could not close out the series on the road, but the team is still in the driver’s seat. After losing their first game of the series on Friday, the Blazers bounced back to win Game 4 two days later.

Unfortunately, the Blazers could not make it back-to-back wins. Wesley Matthews led all scorers with 27 points at the Toyota Center in Game 5, but the Rockets won, 108-98.

4-28-14: The Trail Blazers were on their way to losing Game 1, but Terry Stotts decided to intentionally foul Dwight Howard. The plan worked as Howard missed quite a few free throws, and LaMarcus Aldridge set a new franchise record for points in a playoff game with 46. Damian Lillard chipped in 31 points as well in the 122-120 overtime victory in Houston. The Blazers then took a 2-0 lead against the Rockets behind another stellar performance from Aldridge. He was very efficient again as he led all players with 43 points that night. Lillard dished off a game-high 11 assists as well.

4-21-14: The Trail Blazers had a fantastic April, as they finished with the Western Conference’s best record in that month. Although Portland had a sluggish second half of the season, when LaMarcus Aldridge returned from his back injury, the Blazers played a lot better. They are in the playoffs for the first time since 2011, and they take on the Houston Rockets in the first round. As the best overall corner 3-point team in the NBA, the Blazers will hope to continue their success in those areas on the floor in the playoffs. Wesley Matthews finished in the top five in made corner 3-pointers this past season.

4-16-14: Portland Trail Blazers playoff tickets average $161 on the secondary market, which is 7th in the western conference and 13th overall.

4-1-14: LaMarcus Aldridge cannot be injured anymore this season if the Trail Blazers want to win. They dropped each of the three games without him this week. Portland began a five-game road trip in Charlotte on Saturday. The Blazers dropped that game to the Bobcats by 30 points. They then lost to the Miami Heat by two points and to the Orlando Magic by 10 points. In Orlando, Robin Lopez’s 20 points and game-high 13 rebounds were the bright spot of the night. LaMarcus Aldridge returned from a seven-game absence on Thursday to put up game-highs in points and rebounds en route to the Blazers’ 100-85 victory.

3-24-14: Even without LaMarcus Aldridge, the Trail Blazers bounced back this past week and posted a 3-1 record. They traveled to New Orleans for Friday’s contest against the Pelicans. Portland defeated New Orleans by eight points to move to 20 games above .500. The Blazers then returned home for a three-game homestand. They dropped Sunday’s game to the Golden State Warriors by one point, but then beat the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday and the Washington Wizards on Thursday. Wesley Matthews was the game-high scorer in both of those games. He scored 26 points on Tuesday and put up 28 points on Thursday.

cult week on the road. They played four projected playoff teams from the Western Conference and lost all four games. On Friday, Sunday and Wednesday, Portland played in Texas. The team fell by five points each to the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets. The Blazers then traveled to Tennessee on Tuesday. Damian Lillard’s game-high 32 points were not enough as Portland lost, 109-99, to the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately, the news was even worse on Wednesday.

In spite of LaMarcus Aldridge’s 1-of-13 shooting on Wednesday, Portland was able to blow out the Atlanta Hawks, 102-78. In that contest, Batum set another new career-high in rebounds, as he brought down 18 boards.

3-3-14: The Blazers won their 5th straight in a 102-96 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday Night.

The Blazers currently hold a 1 game lead over the Los Angeles Clippers for the 3rd seed in the Western Conference.

3-2-14: Now, this is what Trail Blazers fans like to see. Not only did coach Terry Stotts wear a leisure suit to honor Dr. Jack Ramsay’s 89th birthday in Friday’s game against the Utah Jazz, but the Blazers are also playing fantastic basketball lately. They won all four of their games this past week, and they impressively accomplished that feat without leading scorer LaMarcus Aldridge. Damian Lillard filled in valiantly for the Blazers. He posted game-highs in each of the first three games of the week as his team defeated the Utah Jazz, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets.

2-10-14: After losing two games in the entire month of November, the Trail Blazers dropped four contests in December. Then, they fell back to earth with six losses in January. Damian Lillard was determined to not let the trend continue in February, as he guided Portland to a 2-1 record to start the month. On Saturday, the Toronto Raptors mounted a comeback, but Lillard hit a six-footer with just 11 seconds remaining to give the Blazers the lead for good. Although they fell in Washington on Monday, the Blazers bounced back to beat the New York Knicks two days later and move to 35-14.
